We had ourselves a very busy Easter Sunday yesterday! It was fun and tiring and exciting and joyful!
Amaya woke up first and was so excited to check out what the Easter Bunny had left and could harldy wait to get Caden out of his "crib jail" so we could go see everything. She helped me pull him out of his bed while he's yelling, "Easter Bunny! Easter Bunny!" They liked looking through their baskets and were very excited to see that the Easter Bunny had also left an egg hunt in the living room.

In this picture Caden is laughing and saying, "Silly Easter Bunny! He put eggs on TV!"
Caden's way of egg hunting is to sit down after each egg, open it and immediately eat whatever he finds. He got better as the day progressed.
I LOVE this one! Love those smiles!!
And a true representation of the fact that these kids are MINE!
Chase and I were the nursery workers this morning during worship and got to spend some good quality time with Caden, Ryan, Grace, Jordan, Joey, Hudson, Kylie and Kylie's mommy, Jill. The kids were really cute and there were some fussy moments with some of the little ones as well as some moments where we had to get on to the older boys (Caden and Ryan were at one point wrestling in the floor) but it was a good morning and we were definitely blessed to get to spend our morning with such sweet babies.
After church we went to my parent's to eat some sub sandwiches and just chill until it was time to go to the Easter Egg Hunt at their church. Caden decided to spend his time playing "pnano" and singing "Tinkle Star". He's a musical prodigy!

Then, it was time to leave for the egg hunt. We were riding in my parent's car because Chase took our car home with Jordan to take a nap. So, we had to leave early since my parent's were helping with set up. So, I spent a VERY LONG hour trying to keep Caden from getting into the Easter eggs that were being hid, keep Caden from grilling his hand or other body parts on the grill outside where they were making hot dogs and hamburgers and keep Caden from going into every classroom and pulling everything out. It was fun and this picture is an excellent example of what too much stimulation and too much sugar can do to a child like Caden.
So, the Easter Egg hunt began and my dad had instructed all the kids to get twelve eggs and then make sure everyone was able to have twelve eggs before getting more. Amaya took those instructions to heart because she did not want someone else to do without eggs. So, she stopped at twelve while not many others did. It was very sweet and I am so proud of her loving and generous heart. What a beautiful girl!
Caden did his egg hunting with the "three and unders" in the playground with Nana. He is a very good egg finder (as is Amaya) so they did not inherit the "egg blindness" that my sis Amy has. Easter was always a very hard time for Amy. She could never find the eggs and there are many pictures of the three sisters with Jennifer and I standing there with full baskets smiling away and Amy very sad with her very pathetic basket of two or three eggs. Poor Amy! If only she'd had a sister more like Amaya.
